Ok, I will end the confusion. I have been to the Phillippines three times
totaling three months duration for all the visits. The second visit in March
2018 of three weeks I watched them cut the trees and mill them with a chainsaw.
The third visit in October 2018 was seven weeks. The house her brother is
building and incorporates those trees was almost done.
I filed an I-29f petition in May 2018 to bring Tess to the USA. On Feb 7 Tess
has her interview at the embassy in Manila. We anticipate she will be given a
visa to visit the U.S. for 90 days. If we get married during the visit she
stays.
Then at some point, after we are married, Tess and I will open the LOM boxes
and assemble the mill.
So, that sounds like an interesting idea. Would the group like to see a
detailed set of pictures of the 1200 mill being assembled??
I hadn't thought about the group never seeing that before.

I'm a little confused. Are you and your wife, Tess, living in the USA - and
she is back visiting family in the Philippines? And she will be returning back
here soon? If that's the case, get her to ship you some of those beautiful
woods that are more "common" over there (and much less expensive) than they are
here.What state are you living in? (I assume you are in the USA - because you
mention "basement" - and I doubt they have them in the Philippines.)Remember
what you have probably seen both Bill and me post: When it comes to assembling
the extrusion rail pieces - they may look like there is no "inside/outside"
face, but there is. One of the channels has a fine line running down the
center. Pay attention to which way the Instructions tell you to orient that
channel. There's a right way - and a Wrong way; so be careful.
Have fun putting your Mill together! Send us pictures of The Event.
Like Bill said - most of The Group members have never seen a LOM come out of
its box - NEW!

Lol. No, not really. Would you believe my LOM is still in the original shipping
boxes? Tess has asked to be a partner as I assemble it and begin using it.
I have a pretty nice wood shop in my basement and she has been watching me as I
have built several things.

Does that mean that your LOM play time is put off till you cut a couple trees

I very much agree with all that. It seems with the uptick in the economy,
hobbyists are out playing again. There are those that play for fun and there
are those that try to make a few bucks while playing.
So far I have not seen another machine quite like the LOM for such great and
versatile "playing". I still wonder why so many of us hardly use our machines?
Now that I am retired I said I am going to start playing with mine more . . .
well, after I get my bride home this spring. She has expressed interest in how
we do woodworking here.
In Maragusan Philippines they do things WAY different. I watched a group of
guys cut down two huge Nara trees and proceed to turn them both into lumber . .
. with a really long chainsaw. And I have been watching them build a house out
of concrete and the two Nara trees. A different world and way of doing things
for sure.

Well said Joe.
As the guy who sold Legacy machines in UK and across the world I know that
when the recession bit Andy Anderson did the right thing. His customers who
were predominately hobbyist went away, it happens in a recession where as those
in business had to find a solution and that was CNC. Luckily Andy had started
to look hard at CNC and so kept the doors open and his workforce paid and feed.
Being in business is tough and some times you have to make tough decisions.

+00:00To: Legacy Ornamental Millshers's what I remember from my inquiries
regarding the Legacy rail... it is/was proprietary, back in the day Legacy was
making the manual machines... i.e. you could not buy it, even if you knew who
the manufacturer was... Legacy eventually discontinued using that rail, and
switched to a more common, commercially available rail(possibility the rail
that is available from the 80?20 company)… what I heard was that the original
rail supplier was charging Legacy a "storage" and "maintenance" fee for the
dies that were made exclusively for Legacy... Legacy decided to not pay the
fees(which were exorbitant, if my memory is correct)… so the dies were
destroyed... can't say for sure if all of this story is accurate, but I believe
other group members could make some comments here regarding this specific
situation... not sure if Legacy would so forthcoming to give legal permission
to manufacture some parts for their earlier machines, but then again, would it
be a viable business for someone to make that kind of investment... and would
anyone really need permission to make a couple of items... it is more than
just making the parts, there is advertising, marketing, etc., etc.... there is
a very good reason why Legacy decided to shut it down... we in this group are
die hard Legacy mill enthusiasts... and would probably cross a desert for a "Z"
axis upgrade accessory, LOL!... but that is just a handful of people... with
all the talk lately of split nuts, I made about 15 pieces a while back and it
was suggested that if anyone needed one, they could contact me... well, no one
contacted me!, LOL!... so what is the actual market out there for Legacy parts
and/or accessories... even the railing... a minimum extrusion run might be a
thousand feet(or more!)… at what cost?... and how long to sell that much
railing?... packaging and shipping... it's complicated, for sure... and others
have made a very good point of "keeping it in the family", so to speak... if
Legacy is willing to continue making the parts that they do make now, then
let's give the orders to them so there is an incentive for them to continue...
I might assume that they are not making killer profits on those sales, and they
are doing it to help support what is out there in regards to there older
equipment... just some thoughts and comments... haven't commented for quite a
while, but I do read all the posts... have not used my machine in a year or
so... business stinks, in regards to what I would need the Legacy for... hope
all is well with everyone out in Legacy Land!... Joe Biunno
